One of the biggest dangers we face is this idea that the media has become powerless.

Do NOT normalize what Trump is doing when it comes to the media, it is not a NORMAL thing for a President to hold the media in such callous disregard. No matter your politics, journalism does exist and real journalism is a necessary component of governance, it is a 'check and balance' system that we rely on when there is no voice for regular people in America.

Please do not buy into this idea that Twitter and social media is the "new media era" Twitter is not journalism.
Is that why the New York Times has "rededicated themselves" to be accurate?

Bailed on ATOT years ago, because there's no sense discussing anything with folks who can't admit the MSM left wing bias. How are we doing with that today?
Going to assume you just woke up from a coma as anyone who thinks the mainstream media has a left wing bias at this point either just woke up or is utterly delusional. Amusingly enough this account was created right after one of the most egregious examples of media bias in history - Hillary’s Emails.

I’m interested though. What media do you think is not liberally biased?

@FZ07 reminds me how my mother used to claim that BBC News was left-wing because she regarded 'The Daily Telegraph' to be "balanced". No, "left wing" is not a relative definition, and America has two right-wing political parties, one further right than the other.
'I know I'm right so the true, unbiased news source is whatever one tells me that I'm right.'

I guess we are at the point where “Marxist” is not being ok with people starving to death in the streets.

Shit-for-brains comes out of hibernation to recycle conservative talking points from the 1980s. Seems to have totally missed the revelation that “mainstream media” is 100% billionaire-biased. Completely ignores the rot of conservatism since the Tea Party Movement (arguably can be traced back to Reagan and Goldwater) and decides to reveal his ignorance the same day our “conservative” President decides to fast track us into recession. Basically, they do nothing but confirm the suspicion of liberals that conservatives are fucked in the head.

I think J6ers beating cops within an inch of their lives is the personification of hate. All because y'all lost an election.
The republicans entire platform is hate, it's pretty disgusting seeing how gleefully happy they are at other people's lives being ruined. They love it so much they don't care that trump is completely trashing the economy and destroying our standing on the global scale.

MAGA really is this dumb.

I remember how in 2020 conservatives were like 'liberals riot when they lose, conservatives just go to work because they are adults.' This of course was immediately followed by conservatives losing, rioting, and attempting to end democracy.

Also, why is the press not reporting on Trump’s incoherent liberation day speech along with him wandering off and having to be led back to sign the tariff order? If that were Biden it would be discussed for weeks.

You may have noticed that in 2016 the super liberally biased mainstream media relentlessly reported on Clinton's use of a private email server and then said essentially nothing about the Trump administration doing the same thing.

You also have noticed that in 2024 the super liberally biased mainstream media relentlessly reported on Biden's cognitive issues while saying essentially nothing about Trump clearly displaying a whole laundry list of cognitive issues and psychological disorders.

It's almost as if the media isn't liberal!
